which over the years has built up a billion taxpayer dollars simply does not work but continues to exist despite the cuban government completely blocking the transmission the official logic of continue the program is that it would send a bad message to the cuban government if they stopped brilliance and action but the big question is who gives the us government the right to propagandize cuba it just because they have a different lifestyle doesn't mean it is wrong and the us government does has the right to destroy it and even if cubans on mass actually do hate their system then it is their job to change cuba not the military industrial complex and its cronies in washington but that's just my opinion.

has area bagus classified as one of the world's thirty most polluted sites it's tanneries are an ecological disaster playing to waste everything around them every day the factories belch for fifteen thousand cubic meters of toxic refuse leaving it to pile up in the housing and along the river bank. the demand soon the waste floods into to a lings penetrating the soil and filtering down to contaminate the water tables. the brewery gang the river flows through the slum is paying the highest price. the tanneries use vast amounts of water millions of liters of water required to wash treats and tender skins.

goes into the so as. it's no longer useful and you know that it is discarded. it ends up polluting the river. haven't you noticed the state of the berg anger rivers water this is the water that flows into it. all this water laden with chemical products is dumps directly into the river with no purification. this event is there life say no this is only a walk toward the guest list. and the point of dependent on this is the very for a number of freezes we just saw some of which are believed by defy the affair by their way of being. we wash ourselves here because we have no other

choice we have no running water but there are always two hundred people waiting at the public fountains so we have to wash them this filthy water. just like many others the owner of this small town every specialized in dying skins is unconcerned by the hazards his activity gives rise to. the one of this evacuation system has been in use for a long time. in a dirty water inevitably goes into the river. there's nowhere else for it to go that's the way it is. but will they get it would naturally flow into the river. thief of course water containing chemicals is bad for the health probable there would have been a bubble but if we worried about toxicity it would stop working. to go by when it was ready to do that. but in this country the polluters the factory

owners well polluting they don't pay for the cleanup. philip again is a bangladeshi scientist in ten years he's been the only person to study the question of the pollution produced by the tender age of his area but. i think that that situation has become worse you see the washed polluted area that i have ever seen in bangladesh and in many other countries. maybe maybe a hundred thirty yet and all the factories are. releasing their treated liquid waste. seventy per cent of the total for the show and that is being caused to this river is coming from the ten. dumping chromium into their favor waka and it's very difficult to take chromium out of your system. if your self

a striker is contaminated with chromium and if it is contaminated activity that you can't even cure it that means you're actually exposing the entire population of the city into very good v.s.e. vs. the teller's have poisoned the city's entire canal system. was the main artery of. water and fish to the population. today it's the third most polluted river in the world no living will consume can survive in it the stench it exudes makes even sailing there is a difficult. mission shania. fellow. don't

even need to. show that but that. was the water is poisoned there can't be any fish with the tanneries. and our forefathers were fishermen and lived off it we haven't caught anything for seven months now the film. was going to carry on even if there are no more fish we can barely survive. that would look. good you know you see our empty nets although you know what. was lives should use the. yes. that is. the. brunt.

of it but. it's only during the rainy season with the form of fresh water the fishermen could hope to catch life fish. it would take many years and millions of years to clean this water that you didn't really. think. that is i have been eating here for thirteen years on what to resign clean and my husband was a fisherman and we were leaving thanks to seem that over today the fish from the begun to is inedible and my husband is out of work if the river were cleaned well could leave well from it. got a government is responsible for the state of the buddha going to look what happened to it or not this river runs right through how could they let this happen and the government does nothing. human ecological

consequences are nothing short of acts tester for. the world trade organization has ruled that alternative is must be brought up to international regulation re standards by two thousand and fourteen but bangladesh finds itself in a catch twenty two situation down to continue developing its booming leather industry and at the same time respond to the health and environmental concerns of its population. to deal with the situation the department of the environment has appointed mr choudary for his mission is to bring the factories up to standard and to sanction the polluting industrialists that's to say ninety nine percent of time . and how can i say that it's easy it's very much complicated. challenging. family stress and also for a long race and then friends because. each in

their benefits and cry after having. we faced so much pressure from the industry owners from the high ups falling complaint about pollution is to challenge very intense scientific team have come to take some samples. no longer yes are you listening to me not all along they do find out which factories are responsible i think a bunch of the group with what do the film the money. we've got to get samples. telling. young boy did people issue this in grazing there were swimming was over here how it becomes so that their. money is money out of how they got those samples. on the field. after discovering an exceptionally high level. water pollutants he visits the tenor he. began.

coming over here we found this. illegal trade this releasing the dock see what they do though daring to mend this leg in polluting waters going to the pound and polluting the agriculture the cows you'll see taking the plants having this really did work there and they made this into the candle stick to be audited let's go up this dust is very dangerous one of those factories dust emissions are poisoning us. this it also doesn't mission from this factory and we had being affected. by need to program i think there's a problem with your water the oxygen levels in it will be low with the smell of money to the water as bad i can tell from that smell. funny going to can we did a bit help but it would seem your water treatment system isn't working every day

i've got to get this and i know. you've invested in installing it but it doesn't work. but it d.p.p. but it's not functioning and this is this is proof of your failure the oxygen level is very low but i'm going to test it in front of you. right you can pick up it's very poor water odor and color are so strong that in order to. you'll see. this money from picked you can experience this what it is don't free from pollution samples show the level of oxygen dilution in the water to be zero point four for a fish to survive it should be at nine. but they have this is a warning so that you correct your errors but i'm going to have to sanction you for your wrongdoing but that's how you'll be closed down if you do nothing but to believe me i've had many factories shut down but you can check what i'm telling you it's in the press. to start your tree fine for

polluting the environment is ten thousand euros yes this appears this remains more of a threat than actually in full swing to the little. coding to transparency international bangladesh is one of the twenty most corrupt countries in the world in his very bag nine of the largest toner is are owned by government members. after being. up or having already. been told try to take some held high hopes to get. this in the day. a good example from our legal action. to try to get some help from now i hope so but. didn't blow this. already. every day it's the government gives and the government gives in very easy because they're dead on their money because

the gallery owners have a whip butt and they weep when is the money that can. process. the interview.

is you if. you. believe. in two thousand and three the supremes called raised the alarm bordering the has very bad turner is to be relocated and brought up to standard the designated land fifty kilometers from dhaka was intended to accommodate the tanneries as well as a water treatment plant nine years later and still nothing has happened environmental activist up to mass and is working to relaunch this project. this place was a billy. no it does very clumsy place it is

a law and security after. setting up a new identity city here. has filled up this land with. its people of getting treated and i think has been done he had. told them some people come here hundreds of people are coming here to see the new place how do developing it is not developing at all despite all of this coming from the government although this is from the government down there you know there's have not not this and the owner has moved from this has shown any need of moving from displays to god he's the reason is that you didn't go far. and making their. investment environment friendly they probably would have to make a major contribution with their profit but we don't understand one thing.

industry group can be much stronger than the government when the courts directed the can there is have to move within a certain day if they are they have to show dollars then it was actually the government who appeared on behalf of the dead lady owners in the court and the government pleaded for an extension after so you see the gallery owners and the government going to get there in asking for more pain from the court it could have been just the other way around the law. is developing country of one hundred fifty million inhabitants in shows it's economical survival thanks to the letter and text on industries which represent eighty percent of the nation's exports eleven market is booming. production costs in china have doubled over the last five years. has become the place to go so buyers from the west in two thousand and ten alone led the production heroes by forty percent.

the industry supports a multitude of smaller businesses in drying transportation waste intimidation and incineration. approximately one million people live for less than manufacturing and it sincerely activities nothing goes to waste in this trade. small skins will become purses and bags. even scraps of flesh fat and died less a remnant of we used. can't .

these also cuts destined for the open air factories. yes yes we pick them up with our bare hands. a little bit and what's that. to gauge and it would lever shavings the machines shred them i'm going to they're going to. make a dent and. i'm just a been i'm going to do anything with that over there that's the fight we used to make so. it's only money everything is what we see here is bad i mean these are actually waste so only the waste from the families these are being used for different purposes i mean you see solid and liquid mix used for making salt but i know from much you brian who works here is that i mean these big dry

crashed and this is actually raw material that you say to turn around or manufacture on three feet much income i left it at that ok this is a feat for fish feed and on to keep. this bone meal is made from less a list of those killed with animal carcasses and beef and trails it's then used to feed chickens and also prunes for the european market. jane. want to see. no chance i don't see how they can see people eating fish and. chicken. paid p.b.s. we. have never seen you get my money. but

what you see here it's unbelievable i mean i think of any. or any any any place. eighty open air bone meal sack trees here built in the middle of housing and give those toxic fumes day and night which makes death the most polluted city in the world. when you see the smoke over there going to be about how long could anyone last here . to take a look at the x. rays of inhabitants lungs any of them you'll see they're black under x. ray they appear black. a candid moment by the talks of fumes here spread for miles around. me dad i've got that. you can smell it you're going to get up or not is good north south east or west in a fifteen kilometer radius is it getting stiffer to get them up and yours the same

just. how much do you earn a twenty seven euro's and how long do you work for nonstop for they say they work on this bridge. and in half an hour don't salary the children of bangladesh also toil for the leather industry day to contribute to the nation's economy and do not result. holding to the president of the franco bangladeshi chamber of commerce the country strengths is its work songs. before we take that bomb of this we continue to stay in the competitive level because we have a knowledge young force coming into the market embarrassed about two million work force. in the coming to market the president infrastructure industry and other

infrastructures and private media and these people are going for you know benefit disguised employment maybe why do you need. two workers where five workers are walking so this is an advantage obama. elicit workers poti made up of child labor those figures enable us to tell how many children a working in the leather industry that they are everywhere despite the fact that bangladesh is a signatory to the international convention on the rights of the child it's child labor is not clandestine. eighty percent of bangladeshis live on less than two years

a day the whole family has to work mothers often have no other choice than to go out to work school is still a luxury for the majority of children here. in his area back over fifty percent of the population is illiterates. i hope my daughter will grow up to be a good person that she'll have an education that she'll learn to read and write i want to be able to give her that.

the european union contributed two million euros to a number of his area back ten who is in the aim of producing a cleaner lesser announce the results when significant the only means of saving the population in the environment would be to place the tanneries outside. the moves of this kind is costly and would increase production costs for european purchases prepared to accept such a deal. the saddest thing is that we in this country we need to just realize it should. not such industrialisation because east africa you teach here is really

really sad story. but i do have the best i have seen that in a number of cases once the european view is one of the european consumers i heard about the fact they take a position and that situation to improve. so i would definitely hope that the european consumers would start asking question so that things heah get improved because in this particular case is if the buyer stake a position that can actually make life difficult for them. than anyone. else. try to understand what you're saying a. lot of money. i didn't say that.

can you think we're going to be poor all their lives. but as i just want to earn more money you don't need to be a reach. to sound out. i

would rather ask questions of people in positions of power instead of speaking on their behalf and that's why you can find my show larry king now right here on r.t. question more. wealthy british science. writers free. markets. scandal find out what's really happening to the global economy for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines to name two kinds of reports on r t. l.
